I never heard of Crosley, but I can tell you that most
refrigerators have warranties on the compressor that
is a lot longer than 1 year.

This Crosley is nothing but a front buying/marketing organization for
independent dealers...who builds the given product isn't told on the
website that I saw anyway...

"Formed in 1976 in Winston-Salem, NC, the Crosley Corporation consists
of a group of independently owned distributors who resurrected the
Crosley trade name and introduced a line of ... appliances. ...

Crosley Corporation was established as a non-profit organization to help
independent distributors and retailers compete in today's marketplace
with quality appliances at affordable prices.

Crosley brand appliances are manufactured by world class corporations
and are built to Crosley specifications. ... "

Ya' pays your money and takes your chances. If you can find out who's
building a given product, your only hope will be to base judgment on
that manufacturer's reputation for the given product but even that is
quite iffy as one doesn't know what Crosely has done to meet their price
points.

The compressor warranty is longer; used to be everybody had at least 5
on the compressors but they're backing off on a lot of them. Note that
it probably is the compressor itself only; no labor and may be
restrictive even within that guideline to limit the number that actually
qualify. But, a good compressor ought to last that long and double
easily anyway. Some don't, of course...ya' pays your money and takes
yer chances...

Frigidaire makes the same units for a bunch of brand names. I've been in
their plants and watched them go down the line and get different name plates
and cartons. Crosly is the name of an old appliance maker from decades
ago.

The warranty is above average though, but it does not include labor. It
does not include freight in either direction. One some parts, it is
probably cheaper just to have it fixed yourself.
